<p>Hi, I've been lurking around here for the past 4 years or so ever since I was in HS but never posted. Anyways, I am sort of screwed (read below).... and need help in picking out a transfer college. </p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>I lived most of my life in CHINA, and attended an international school.
My first language is Mandarin Chinese.
HS GPA: 3.9- 4.0
Took 5 APs received only a 4 on 2 of them (the rest were 3's)
SAT: 1250
President of my class
LOTS of volunteer work in Kazakistan, Tibet, and Mongolia (personal passion not for college) throughout HS. Too much traveling and humanitarian work to list. </p>
<p>Had my own business going on (sourcing stuff from China to US).
Was offered $35,000 to start my own biz by Ohio State and a large scholarship from Uof MARYLAND
Was on NYTIMES for entrepreneurship
GT to Cornell</p>
<p>Played some sports, not really into it but just for fun
12+ years in Piano
I'm Chinese, my family is somewhat well off. My dad is director, mom has her own company, family still is in China. My mom's side is Communist (as in the PRC government), not sure if I should mention this.</p>
<p>FRESHMAN YEAR: </p>
<p>Attended Babson College with $25,000 scholarship from Women's Leadership
Did really bad: 2.4 GPA b/c welll, long story but I was vice president of 4 clubs, had to pay my own tuition thus had a full time job, and well I have a eating disorder that developed during that time...
Also, the college was in the middle of nowhere and I was used to a life in the BIG city (Beijing)</p>
<p>NOW: (in my sophomore year)
Community College in Michigan b/c that was where I thought was state of residency
GPA: 3.9-4.0 first semester (will have completed 45 credits)</p>
<p>I thought I was a michigan resident since I lived here for 7 years but it turns out since I graduated from an international school they think of me as a out of state resident. Well, I am pretty much screwed, bc I transferred from Babson College to a local Michigan community college and now I can't even get the benefits of in state tuition! </p>
<p>The only reason I moved to Michigan was b/c I can't stand working full time while attending Babson, and then having like a 2.5 GPA and no social life. </p>
<p>So.... well I am applying for UMich but what other schools do I have a chance at?</p>
<p>I am so stressed out I can't sleep or eat or anything. </p>
<p>I have no idea what to do! I am SUCH a mess. </p>
<p>Please if ANYONE can help me pick out a couple good matchs in URBAN SETTINGS preferrably in NY or CA b/c not only am I stressed out but I am mentally going insane staying in the middle of nowhere. </p>
<p>Thank you SO much.
Miranda</p>
<p>P.S. Excuse me for my spelling and grammatical mistakes.... I am just freaking out since I think possibly, if U mich won't admit me I am really really screwed.</p>
